SUPER SEEDY PROTEIN PORRIDGE (sweet or savoury)
/
Super Seedy Protein Porridge topped with fresh berries, granola, peeled tiger nuts, and bee pollen.
This is a great low-carb grain-free nut-free breakfast option. It’s packed with antioxidants, fibre, healthy fats, and protein, and works well with sweet or savoury toppings (hello poached egg and avocado!).
Super Seedy Protein Porridge has a wonderful mix of textures thanks to the toasted seeds and creamy coconut milk. It can be enjoyed cold or heated-up for a cozy morning meal. What a wonderful way to start the day!
Super Seedy Protein Porridge served with microgreens, diced avocado, poached egg, toasted pumpkin seeds, and sriracha.
Ingredients for 4 servings:
2 Tbsp raw pumpkin seeds
2 Tbsp raw sunflower seeds
1/4 cup chia seeds
1/4 cup Nuzest Clean Lean Just Natural (for savoury) or Smooth Vanilla (for sweet porridge) protein powder
1/4 cup Eaton Hemp gluten-free hemp seeds
2 Tbsp gluten-free flaxseed meal
2 Tbsp sesame seeds
2 1/2 cups unsweetened milk of choice (I like to use light coconut milk or a combination of full-fat coconut milk and almond or nut-free milk)
1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract (optional, omit for savoury porridge)
Lakanto or ZenSweet sugar-free monk fruit sweetener, pure stevia, or raw honey (non-vegan), adjusted to taste (optional)
optional sweet toppings: fruit, nuts/seeds, nut butter, toasted coconut, peeled tiger nuts, bee pollen, granola, yogurt, drizzle of honey or maple syrup, or toppings of choice
optional savoury toppings: poached eggs, sautéed greens, diced avocado, or toppings of choice
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350F.
Spread pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and toast for 5 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
In a medium bowl, mix together chia seeds, protein powder, hemp seeds, flaxseed meal, and sesame seeds. Add cooled pumpkin and sunflower seeds and stir to combine.
Whisk in milk. Allow to sit for 10 minutes, then whisk again. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
In the morning, stir and add additional milk and/or sweetener as needed for desired taste and consistency. Serve warm or cold with your choice of toppings.
